On its way to LindyLouMac in Italy (who introduced me to Bookcrossing).
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
From the postmark this book has only taken 2 days to reach me!! Thankyou very much for trading this. Looking forward to reading but it must join Mt TBR and wait its turn!
I have at last got around to reading Angela's Ashes which I throughly enjoyed. So much so that I started this sequel today. Apologies to iwanttobeinital that it has taken me so long. It is normally my policy to read and move on titles I have been given by other Bookcrossers in a more reasonable time scale. No excuses for having this one on Mt TBR for over a year!
Having finished Anglea's Ashes only a few days ago and given it a good review I decided to go straight into the sequel. Maybe this was not such a good idea as I was disappointed. Personally I found it nothing like as emotionally stirring as Angela's Ashes, neither was it written in such an exhilarating style. At times I found it rather stilted with no clear explanation of the time setting. It appeared to jump about somewhat and great chunks of time were missing. For instance suddenly two of his brothers were in New York and running a bar, yet I do not remember them even arriving. I think maybe he was trying to fit too much into the sequel which somehow spoilt it for me. I did enjoy but maybe I should not have read it directly after the first one?
